Great news: the 8 units successfully delivered to Virtusa Inc in Sri
Lanka today! Contents including:
4 XO-1.5 C2's (labeled "SKU-99, ENGINEERING SAMPLE", early
mass-production units)
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_1.5_C2
2 XO-1.5 C1's (labeled "C-TEST, ENGINEERING SAMPLE", 99.999%
equivalent to the above?)
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_1.5_C1
2 XO-1's (labelled "SKU1", to supplement the 2 XO-1's Sri Lanka's
Virtusa Inc already has)
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_specification
Summary: 6 XO-1.5's and 4 XO-1's for Virtusa's team of 10 testers. Now
we need to begin prep'ing by reflashing to build os110 -- does Virtusa
have USB memory sticks of 1GB or higher ready -- ideally from several
different vendors to ensure XO compatibility?
PS those wanting to join the *Thursday* teleconference call in 3hrs from

AGENDA: (cumulative)*
* have all the people participating have registered on the testing
mailing list:
* OLPC XOs: testers to review http://dev.laptop.org/ for tickets
labelled "test"
* any feedback on the fantastic testing being done by the New Zealand
volunteers:
http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/testing/2010-March/001110.html
* Sri Lanka's great gift of 10 full-time testing people over 1.5 months
(starting Mch 8?) can help us build back 2008's very inspiring community
testing drive:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Friends_in_testing
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_cases_8.2.0
Thanks to the Virtusa Corporation donating these 10 employees, and
proven formal methods we'll integrate alongside, like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Rational_Unified_Process
> Build 10.10 latest, 201 to be released soon (explanation development
builds: 100s - unsigned builds, 200s - signed builds)
* os110 is the latest development build; os111, os112 etc will likely
follow.
os201 is the latest signed/stable build on the early production
XO-1.5 laptops; os202 may not happen for a little while?
All XO-1.5 builds are available here:
http://build.laptop.org/10.2.0
* Decision around global testing method -- with Chamindra (Sri Lanka
Testing CoLead w/ Dhanushka & Kapila) explains the great streamlining
power of:
http://blog.TestLink.org
COMPARE ABOVE wiki.laptop.org methods.
Writing test cases and following them are a snap -- once someone
installs this PHP site?
* The Sri Lankan team is familiar with open sources methods, but
Cultural intros structuring/cleaning http://dev.laptop.org/1.5 and
http://dev.sugarlabs.org will be extremely important.
* While the XO-1.5's OS/Sugar Activities (and Gnome too) will certainly
be our core focus, side projects will hopefully also be important too:
- XO-1 : backporting Fedora 11 for ~1.5 million XO's already out
there? (Steve Parrish in North Carolina cc'd, please clarify your
testing needs!)
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1
- Similarly Martin Langhoff's possible Release 8.2.2:
http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2009-December/thread.html#26750
http://dev.laptop.org/~martin/8.2.2-betas/
- Sugar 0.88 (Holt asks Simon Schampijer in Berlin: what
testing/reporting he wants in March/April?)
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.88/Testing
(virtual machines or http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick)
- Sinhala Translation work (Sri Lankan team can start / recheck
right away!)

FEB 18 CALL NOTES from Tim McNamara:
Attendees: [Holt], James, Chamindra, Kapila, Tim
"1300 XOs in Sri Lanka..."
James - [OLPC's] systems test coordinator - Aus business days - testing
XOs 1.5, mainly hardware/kernel - integration between Sugar & h/w
features. lots of problems w/ software components. Problems with kernel
that are not huge issues. SugarLabs have issues. Important to test.
Produce lots of laptops. We think we have solved with laptops /
peripher[al]s. Problems shouldn't arise.
Software stack, Fedora 11 / where possible we fix the issues & send
upstream. Sugar is the UI.
Testlink allows test cases to be replicated easily. At the moment, there
is no formal method for testing. Balance between
informal/formal methodology to testing to be struck. Formal methods
could available to the community. With Testlink, just be matter of
writing test cases & then moving testers toward the site.
There seems to be a good past effort here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_cases
"Friends in Testing" (Micheal Stone) community drive to do something in
the test suite. When a ticket is raised in OLPC, it's sent to Sugar.
Wellington, NZ update: numbers seem limited, Tabitha has moved to
Auckland - recruitment needed
Sri Lankan team to focus on Sugar/activities testing.
*Next meeting*
14 days' time. [phone meetings will be Thursday every 2 weeks, 12:01am
(midnight) Eastern Time]
